A malfunctioning Volvo 960 tailgate strut is not only extremely inconvenient but can also pose a safety hazard when working in and around your vehicle with the tailgate open. Trying to unload a car full of groceries is a major pain with a strut that refuses to adequately hold the tailgate in the open position and more than one Volvo wagon owner has had the shocking surprise of being bonked on the head by an open tailgate that suddenly collapses without warning. While it doesn't represent a particular driving safety hazard, the inconvenience posed by an improperly functioning tailgate strut can be simply alleviated for little expense. You can find both aftermarket versions as well as original equipment manufactured models readily online. The higher-end versions are gas filled, provide easy and safe operation, are maintenance free and will hold the tailgate open in any position. They are easy to mount and shouldn't pose any installation problems for someone with a minimal amount of mechanical ability. Volvo 960 tailgate struts should be replaced in pairs, as recommended by the vehicle manufacturer. Even if only one of your struts is broken and the tailgate may still operate with only one unit working, it's a good idea to replace both units as soon as possible.
